We’re thrilled to announce that Cloudability was selected last night as “Startup of the Year” at the 2013 Oregon Technology Awards, hosted by the Technology Association of Oregon at the Portland Art Museum. We want to thank everyone at the TAO as well as all of our supporters around Oregon and the world.

While it’s always great to see our name in lights and our team’s hard work recognized, these kind of events also underline the strength and vibrancy of the technology industry in Oregon.

Looking around us at the awards ceremony, we saw other startups like OpenSesame and Vendscreen alongside “Rising Star” companies such as PuppetLabs, Janrain and Elemental Technologies. We’re humbled and honored to be considered part of a group consisting of strong players like these.

If you haven’t already done so, check out all of this year’s winners. You can also find out more about the TAO’s work at their website, along with details about the other events TAO holds through the year.

Today Cloudability is launching our newest product: AWS Cost Analytics.

When Cloudability introduced our EC2 Usage Analytics tool at the end of last year, it was a watershed moment for many of our users. For the first time, they had the tools they needed to really make sense of instance-level EC2 usage trends.

Since then, thousands of users have leveraged this data to increase the efficiency of their AWS usage by shutting down unused instances, downgrading and consolidating underutilized instances, and converting heavily used instances to Reserved Instances.

We’ve now applied our analytics experience to invoice costs to introduce AWS Cost Analytics. The enabling data for this new product are detailed billing files recently introduced by AWS via programmatic access. These files are stored on an S3 bucket of your choosing in CSV format.

Depending on the size of your infrastructure, each of these detailed billing files can be gigabytes in size and contain tens of thousands of rows. The data is rich, but translating data to information is a challenge for even the savviest spreadsheet guru.

Cloudability’s new AWS Cost Analytics leverages our proven analytics feature set to drive a new level of visibility into costs across all of your AWS products.
